Fiat Nuova 500 simplified cnc/laser

The Fiat Nuova Cinquecento (500) was built from 1957 through 1975. The 500 derives from the cubic capacity and the first version had 13,5 horse power which propelled the vehicle to a maximum speed of a blazing 50 miles per hour. Probably easy fast enough for traffic jam in Rome.

My build was done on a desktop cnc-machine by Stepcraft using a spiral-toothed 1.2 mm flute. I used 6 mm beech plywood and 6 mm beech rods for the the axles. I added a little bit of grease to improve the rotation, washers give the tires (darkened with wood stained) a proper displacement.

A laser cutter might be a good alternative tool to build this model. Consider that some sophisticated parts need a certain size and/or material to be strong enough.
